    Hmm its difficult to give a fair review of this game as i haven't really played many sports games. As a table tennis game it does exactly what it says on the tin but the lack of career mode does make the game a little limited. Even with the live options it only held my attention for a few games which isnt necessarily the result of a poor game its down to the people on live itself Hmm its difficult to give a fair review of this game as i haven't really played many sports games.

Basically there wasnt a game i actually wanted over June and id rather spend £30 on a game i dont want than £50, if its only for passing the time till something better comes out. Expand

    Ummm... really nothing special... I dont understand what all of the hype is all about - Thje graphics are good but boring... gameplay is like watered down top spin on a crappy table... I really dont like this game and I kinda like it even less for all of the hype associated with it - Top Spin 2 is better... avoid this crap.

    A good title. Great physics and realism and a very accurate rendering of table tennis. Fantastic to play with you mates at parties, and sometimes good fun on your own. But be aware, this game won't keep you occupied for long. Well worth picking up for £8 at Gamestation, though.

    Fun, does just about everything a ping pong game can do, which leaves it very shallow, no depth. No career mode, no create a character, no other game modes except exhibition and tournaments (which are next to impossible to complete). Online is fun, but because this game does not have any depth, it wears off real soon. Graphics are nice, as well as sound, but just missing a little more Fun, does just about everything a ping pong game can do, which leaves it very shallow, no depth.

    Great graphics and somewhat fun gameplay. Lack of characters (or create-a-player) takes away from the replay value and in the end - it's ping pong for crying out loud....Worth a rent. Not worth the buy - even at $50 canadian.

  1. It's the sign of a great sports game when you can't think of anything you'd want to change in the next version. It doesn't need another version...This is brilliant, whichever way you spin it.

    If you want a table tennis game that's strictly focused on great mechanics and addictive gameplay, but that lacks a reasonable single-player mode and is shockingly sparse, Rockstar Presents Table Tennis is your game.
  3. As a pure videogame there's nothing on Microsoft's next-generation format to touch it in terms of instant accessibility, rewarding depth and immensely entertaining and addictive gameplay - maybe it's not a sports sim, but more a spiritual successor to the legendary PONG.
